Didn't see that one coming. I think that's a pretty cool deal. It means that Saturn will continue on.

I'm excited to see how this turns out.

Good to see Saturn will remain a US company for now. Another thing is I still don't see how GM does not think Pontiac is one of its core brands either? The execs must be hitting the crack pipe too much.

Well... after reading up a little more, looks like the plan is to sell smaller import cars though the Saturn network of dealers. Not sure what to think about that.

I agree Mike!

It will be a very sad day when/if Pontiac goes away. I don't understand how Buick gets a hall pass and Pontiac goes to the principals office to be expelled.

Does Buick have that much (if any) better sales than Pontiac? I have no idea what the stats are or where to find them.
It would be nice if they could keep both and dump Hummer, Saab, Saturn and clean up a few other things in house. Maybe they will come through this ok.
